This is coming after Gossip vlogger, Tosin Silverdam recently sparked widespread interest among internet users with his assertion that a potential feud is unfolding between actresses Ruth Kadiri and Omoni Oboli.
Ruth Kadiri is the president of Ruth Kadiri 247. She is one of the top producers of movies that stream on YouTube.
Some of the actors she has groomed over the years are, Eronini Osinachim, Chidi Dike, Genevieve Edwin, Annabel Apara, Vivian Gabriel and Scott Roberts.
According to Silverdam’s claims, the alleged feud between Kadiri and Oboli stems from the success of their respective movies on YouTube and an incident involving a young actor being recruited by one from the other’s project.
Silverdam further alleged that Ruth Kadiri was displeased when one of her young actors collaborated with Omoni Oboli, prompting her to respond in a decisive manner.
He claimed that Kadiri blocked the actor on social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp, even removing him from their group chat.
